Never mind all that was going on across the pond on Tuesday, it was also the twentieth anniversary of Gianfranco Zola signing for Chelsea.
And what better way for the club’s official Twitter account to commemorate such an occasion than to create a special hashtag? A string of #Zola20 tweets were sent form the account throughout the day, looking back at some of the highlights of the Italian’s time at Stamford Bridge.
One of those tweets featured footage of Zola taking on Liverpool and managing to leave Jamie Carragher on his arse… not once, but twice.

‘You can never get bored of watching this,’ the tweet reads.
Alerted to the tweet, Carragher – no stranger to engaging in a bit of Twitter hijinks with Sky Sports colleague and former adversary Gary Neville – couldn’t resist a reply.
‘Or this,’ the former Liverpool man replied, enclosing a picture of Luis Garcia celebrating his famous ‘ghost goal’ in the 2005 Champions League semi-final between the two clubs.

Liverpool, of course, went on to win the Istanbul final following Garcia’s much-debated goal, beating  AC Milan on penalties after being three goals down at half-time to the Italian side.
This comes just over a week after Garcia himself used the controversial goal as the inspiration for his Halloween outfit.
